[1000mp] M5 needs a doctor

[Cecil Acuff]

Sounds like you need an antenna doctor...I think something has gone wrong 
with your antenna system.  Try tuning the rig into a dummy load and see what 
results you get.  Make sure you use a jumper that is known to be good.

Recent problem ...
Output power dropped to 100W max.
SWR's start at 2.5:1 and will climb off the scale while transmitting.
Finding: Two nights ago, Jamaica is heard on 14.199 @ a true 15 over 9. This 
same station is received with a clear 5x9 on 14.214, .165, .148, and .137 at 
the same time. I put it on "dual" on 2 of these frequencies and heard a 
strong Maryland station working it and coming in on both frequencies also.
I can run the ant. tuner. It now runs a bit longer. It will shut off. I can 
redo this procedure 2 more times and it tries to retune again w/o 
transmitting in between.
Anyone know a good specialist?

Bob
